Thompson Rigg Barn, Vale of York

Nestled at the head of a beautiful valley in the North York Moors National Park bordering both Dalby Forest and National Trust Moorland. This is a great place for anyone just wanting to relax and let the world disappear for a few days.

Alternatively use it as a base for walking, biking or touring the National Park and coastline. It is mountain bike heaven with the world class cycle routes within Dalby Forest on the doorstep and easy access to Newtondale for those wanting Enduro terrain.

Walkers have miles of open countryside and forest to explore including The Bridestones, Hole of Horcum and Blakey Topping. There are beautiful surroundings for those wishing to just relax on site by the stream and woodland or just walk through the gate onto open moorland.
